04/25/10




Having visited the owl nest near Stone House on Bear Creek Trail yesterday, we were told by a photographer of another owl nest near the intersection of old Kipling Rd and Bear Creek, so today we decided to take a walk in the area to try to find it. Found the nest and the male owl in a cottonwood just next to the nest. Not sure how many babies were in the nest but one was sitting up for all the world to see. Usual camera with lens at 200mm plus cropping. On way back to the car, spotted this large raptor in a tree. This shot taken from as close as we could get to it with a lot of cropping. As best as we can determine this looks like a Swainson's Hawk
